Created 8 years ago

Welcome back!



This is the Afterbirth+ Version of your favorite custom challenge launcher ;-)

FEATURE LIST:

-Choose your character!
-Customize starting HP and consumables
-Choose starting trinket and card/pill/rune
-Choose starting items
-Choose the final stage of your challenge!
-Load/save challenge runs and share them through codes or files
-Disable certain special rooms or even devil and/or angel room!
-Apply permanent curses or disable curses!
-Random run generator

If you find any bugs or you have any suggestions feel free to post them and they might be fixed/included in the next version.

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

Just download the binary and start the .exe file.

Modify anything you want and hit the "Play" Button to start the game.

Choose the "Challenge" menu entry and then hit your "Tab" key to open the custom challenge menu.

Choose your challenge and have fun!

REMARKS:

1) Because of this version of the CCL actually creating real Afterbirth+ mods, ACHIEVEMENTS will be DISABLED!

2) The auto generated mod is located here:

C:/Users//Documents/My Games/Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ Mods/CustomChallenge

3) If you want, you may rename this folder and upload your challenge to the steam workshop!

4) The difficulty settings and the item pool editor had the be removed because with the new modding system it's not that easy to modify those things in AB+. If requested I may put some more work into it and try to make it work.

5) People who use a "non-steam" version:
You may need to put the location of your AB+ installation into the AfterbirthPlusCCLauncherConfig.ini file.

please make a repentance version of custom challenge launcher
This caused all new and old mods I had to no longer work because they became invisible. What am I doing wrong?
can we get this for repentance? i will be happy
This is a great mod, I just wish it was updated for repentance
How can i play it in repentance???
Is this possible to block trinket?
Sorry, no but it MAY[ confuse you due to me telling you but the creator should instead.
Does somebody has any idea why Challenges does not apear in Custom Challenges Tab?
can you please update it with the new booster packs
Hey 89141, Can you please update this for Booster Packs 2-5? I, and many others, really want it! Please make the update as soon as possible. love this launcher btw!
Is there a possibility of a Boosterpack 5 Update? There are many ideas I have for starting with Schoolbag and 2 active items.
try to keep her with keeper and Godhead (with a lot of curses)

Anyway, I do not have a custom challenge.
whenever i load into the game with a challenge it wont appear in the custom challenges area. anyone know why?
Is there any chance for a booster pack 5 version?
Also, every time I make a new challenge, the previous one won't load. It doesn't delete or overwrite it, it just doesn't let any other challenges I made appear in-game. Any ideas?
it doeset appear to my custom challenges what do i do?
I can't see the challenges either
I accidentally added a item, how do I remove it???
You click on it and hit the delete key/backspace. I used this in rebirth trying to install it for + but that's how it was in rebirth

when I try to use it, it doesn't work.
The Challenge appears in the custom challenge menu
Yes finally a decent modYes finally a decent mod
Wow,that's really cool launcher,thx so much!
how can i exclude certain items from the item pool?
unfortunatly, thats not possible, maybe the creator will update and add this feature
Is there a way to set the run seed in the launcher?
i tried inputting a code in the "Enter Code" area but it tells me "" is an invalid integer. what does that mean??
It's not working for me. Somebody please help!!
This mod is pretty good. Still waiting for dev to add Booster Pack 2-5 items to it, though.. *wink wink* It's still nice, and I like creating custom challenges. I'm going to try and upload them to Steam Workshop soon.
I'm missing forgotten boi, other than that, works pretty good
Still seem to be missing newer items. I want to make a challenge with Tech 0, but it is not on the list.
yeah, the mod needs to be updated, and add the items from bp 2 - 5
where is the CustomChallenges folder in "C:/Users//Documents/My Games/Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ Mods/CustomChallenge"? somebody, please help me!!
A little problem with that launcher, my custom challenge does not appear
The auto-generated mod is not showing up
You have to go to steam and download the debug menu so you can give your self all items you want in the game
It's part of the binding of Isaac steam community page where you download mods
It's not working anymore for me either. WTF?
Okay, for some reason, when I check the Devil Room to prevent them from appearing, they STILL appear. WTF?
I previously used the Rebirth CCL and disabled a few rooms and they still appeared, but with only 1 thing in them.
Examples:
Treasure rooms and Shops will give a key back upon entering.
Arcade rooms will give a coin back upon entering.
How do I make a challenge with The Forgotten? I want to see what happens if he has a blindfold.
Please add seeds in, especially easter egg seeds like: 1MN0 B0DY, which makes the character invisible. Other than that, this is an awesome mod!
The auto-generated mod isn't showing up. It never has. Pls help with a solution of why this isn't generating! I NEED HELP!
The first time worked without the mod but one day it didn't work anymore. HELP859
Hi, I have a problem. I have Isaac non-steam and I want to play challenges, I change the config location of the game but when I start the program itself and make the challenge turns Isaac with steam.
Hey I don't know if this is old or not but it says that because there are mods achievements will be disabled but according to what I researched achievements can still be gotten even with mods so I'm kinda confused here, plz help, thanks
Challenges disable achievements, even in pure vanilla isaac.
so...perfect
so...delicious
so...INCREDIBLE
so...
I have a rather unusual suggestion. Is it possible to use both the CC Launchers to edit a custom challenge for any version of the game? I tried once, but the challenge might have gotten corrupted. Beware.
In a challenge I am trying to make, I need two trinkets, but there isn't a slot for that, even after i added mom's purse... help?
Hey this mod doesn't work i followed the install guide but it doesn't show up in the mods menu
Hey

I am surprised to see that almost noone talks about the amazing options in the AB version that are not here for this AB+ version.

I mean the add and remove item from the pools option, the amazing option of invert pools, like put the item room pool in the devil deal pool; that was amazing. Where it is ? Will it be updated soon ? Anyway gg for the work
How do you get the challenge off if you want to play normally again? I can't figure it out.
And I don't know what reverting to original game will do.
DId you find it ? I think it's pretty simple, just disable the mod in MODS or in CHALLENGE MODS in CHALLENGE.
I extracted the launcher, made a challenge, clicked play and it's not working :/ I even ran it as administrator and I did as it said in the instructions. No custom challenge folder was in my mods either.
if only there was a version that allows achievements
i'm tired of just pure rng to try and get a good run to unlock like 2 items, over and over again
Someone help me please...I looked online and used the instructions. Once I click "play" after I'm done editing my custom challenge it loads up Afterbirth+ and then I click "challenges" and press "tab" and nothing is there I tried to do it again but just by starting a game and nothing. Someone please reply!
you need to give your challenge a name in the cc launcher. There's a tab for that. The tab is located in the 'starting configuration' right above the text 'Default character HP'
or left from your chosen character.

Clearest explanation for the day.
Even though I'm clicking there, nothing is coming up, I see the grey line where it makes sense the challenge name would go, but nothings letting me type, I just want my custom challenges D:
EDIT: I'm an idiot, had 2 CC launchers downloaded and was using the wrong one, *facepalm*
EDIT EDIT: Yeah, getting no custom challenge folder upon starting up the game from the launcher, Idk , even after making sure I was using the right one
FIX: I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT, the CC launcher doesn't know the difference between the onedrive documents folder on windows 10 and the local documents folder on windows 10, make sure to check in your onedrive documents mygames folder to see if it saved there, if it did, go into the custom challenge folder and copy paste the content and main.lua from the one drive, to the local documents folder
I'm probably too late, but do you have mods enabled? Also, make sure you save it in C:\Users\\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ Mods\CustomChallenge
Would it be possible for you to update this with the rest of the booster packs and the ability to add perma Curse Of The Blind and Curse Of The Maze curses please.
I'd love to see this updated to include the features of the original, specifically the item pool editor. Though, this is really nice regardless.
Agreed. I miss the options in the original AB CC launcher.
why is it German for mine? I'm American
It's German for me too. Must show what nationality the creator is. Clutz much? XD
Would be nice if you could exclude items like in previous iterations. There probably a good reason for it, but what is it?
If you mean items that characters start with, I'm pretty sure they're hardcoded in.
Exclude as in the item doesnt spawn in that run, like no brimstone or bobs brain.
I don't know why everyone says this doesn't work. It works great for me.
fix your shit dude, it doesn't work, I've followed all of the steps EXACTLY as it says in the instructions, but there's no "CustomChallenge" anywhere in my afterbirth+ mods folder, I even tried making my own folder called CustomChallenge, but that didn't work either... again: fix your fucking mod ffs
OMG yes, i cant make it work either!

things that would be great is a way to have multiple challenges in isaac at once (if theres a way with this launcher i dont know how.), a way to exclude items (again, if theres a way i dont know how.), and a way to enable or disable curse of the blind.
Whenever i try to play none of the items show up please help
So, I managed to make 1 challenge I created work in game. I had to save it in the mods folder and it started coming up in custom challenges. However since that first one any challenge i make will not show up. I cant figure out how they differ fro the first one that works fine.
There is no Custom Challenge folder. Help
This mod really need custom starting attributes
Is there a way that items from mods can be added to the launcher?
I was meaning to ask a similar question 0-0. I have a card mod, but the card doesn't show up in the CC launcher. I'm thinking 'not yet' ;-;
Clicking Play Opens Isaac but you can't actually play with the genned items
Im kind of scared this might break my Binding of Isaac game or the progress
Don't work for me. Followed the instructions, custom challeng doesn't appear in the "Cutom Challenges" menu.
I recently got a pickup ingame "Technology 0" that connects tears with lightning, but the pickup doesn't appear to be supported as of 1.01, is this a brand new pickup ingame, or is there a more recent update to the mod that I'm not seeing?
It's a sort of update to The Binding Of Isaac Afterbirth+, called Booster Packs. Booster Packs are when the game's developers import mods that fans have created into the actual game. Hope this cleaers things up.
great work, just like the normal afterbirth version!
I love this mod i have been waiting afterbirth was the time I picked up the mod and with the release of afterbirth + I needed a new challenge launcher.
can you plz try to make delerium and hush end goals?
i hope you can manage that
Is this going to be playable on mac?
hey after using it, in my proper runs it shows the no-achievement icon... that never happened before the mod
Here is how you fix the mod, so that you can actually pla the custom challenges:
1. Create the Challenge.
2. Start the game.
3. Go to "Mods"
4. Press "Tab" on the custom challenges mod.
5. Go to Custom Challenges in the challenges page.
6. Enjoy your mod.
Thanks to DanielHigh47 to find this
All credit goes to @Inferno for the fix.

Thank you for putting that out there.
It's been a week and you haven't helped me. Fix your fucking mod already and actually include the folder!
My laptop won't open the app. Any solutions?
it launches fine but when i go to challenges and hit tab it just makes a buzzing noise, if anyone can help it would be very helpful.
I can't find the Custom Challenge folder!
Can you plz make a version where you can get achievements.
The game was just updated to where mods don't cause achievements to be disabled, so this won't disable them anymore.
I apologise, the credit goes to INFERNO
Here is how you fix the mod, so that you can actually pla the custom challenges:

It doesn't work for me! I put the challenge in the mod folder and it didn't show up!
I'd say the only downside now for TBoI is the non achievements
When i hit the tab button it wont show the custom challenges
Can someone help?
I lost all of my save data and was planning on using this mod to speed up the process of getting back to where I was. However it turns out I can't use this like the old version? It'd be nice if it could also be used as a Custom Run like the after birth version, rather than just a challenge. Then I could use it in greed as well.
2805 is a really greaaaaat mod all of the ccs launchers are good
is there a way i can upload my custom challenges to the steam workshop?
I cant find my mod in the custom challenge menu
can there be a mac version of this?
i have have a question....i cant find the custom Challenge folder on my mods and i cant run them now
Is there a way to remove the challenge launcher so I can have achievements again?
im gonna miss using this to help unlock hard-to-get unlocks :/ now i have to grind greed mode who knows how many times to get 999 coins in the greed mode donations box. *sigh* oh well now i get to make challenges for HuttsGaming :P
Great work man! Some suggestion and questions here (Hope I'm not repeating any comments, I've read most of all):

1) In the AF version, there was a item pool editor... Now how can I exclude some items?
2) Maybe add a time limit feature like in SPEED? Then death, damage over time or sort of.
3) How about make a TOT rooms floor? Like 1 room only start and boss... 100 rooms filled with multiple treasure, shops & co...
4) How about a The Hush and Delirium final stage challenge?
5) Is possible to "lock" a certain trinket?

BTW thanks for the great mod dude!
And lastly how can i stitch more than one challenge together? Like in "set of custom challenge extreme epic pack"?
Well that was not my last question XD In the older version was the HP multiplier and the double contact damage...
Help, I don't have a "Custom Challenge Creator" in my mods
Is there a way to make it so I can use a mod character (like mei or silas) in the challenges? And if there isn't, can one be added?
I'm not on steam and I can't seem to find the .ini file. Where and how do I find it?
Hello, thanks, works perfectly. Can you please add a button to remove a passive item during challenge creation? So if I add something by mistake, I wouldn't have to start from scratch.
You can already do that. Select the item and hit the DELete key.
It doesn't work. I placed the challenge file in my mod folder and it didn't show up in the game.
IS there anyway to add the challenges to the list?
The tool seems to have no effect for me. Launching a run from the tool starts the game but the Mods and Custom Challenges menus are both empty. Running the tool as administrator doesn't change anything.
well i game myself all bombs keys ect and hearts red blue black and one item to make sure it works but it doesn't do anything except start the game.
Yes i have the same problem and id like to have some fun in the game with this too
Ok. Can someone explain me how to delete this from my game ? I downloaded it but every run that I start have achievements disabled. It's pretty annoying because I'd like to get the 1001% but I can't progress now. (Sorry for my bad english)
Disable the mod in the "Mods" menu
I press play go to the challenge menu press tab and the challenge isn't there.
I can't see the challenge listed under Customer Challenge.

- I'm running Steam version on Win7 with admin rights
- Executing mod as administrator
- Disabled antivirus for testing
- I've created the CustomChallenge folder in the Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ Mods folder and I can see the metadata file has been automatically created
- I've enabled the mod in AB+
- I press the PLAY button on the AB+CCC

I don't understand what I'm missing. There seems to be no definitive answer...
You don't need to create the folder yourself.
Just put the launcher anywhere you like, start it and create your challenge as you like. then just click "Play". The "Custom Challenge" mod will be auto-generated. In the game menu choose "Challenges" and then hit "Tab" to go to the custom challenge menu. There you can just select the challenge your created and play it.
My game won't load any items/trinkets that I put to get me when I start a new run :/
Don't just start a new run. You have to start a custom challenge. Look at this page's description to learn how.
I'm having the same problem all it does is gives me 3 red hearts nothing else. Maybe it has to do with i'm on windows 10.
how would i put the directory in the config file if my boi installation is on a flash drive? it's located in "E:\The Binding Of Isaac Rebirth" and i have no idea how to set up a separate mods folder besides reinstalling the game on this computer, and steam is blocked
idk how to put it on steam can someone tell me how?
This is really good me and my friends try and see who can do the best in some of our challanges! Thanks For Making such a Great Mod
theres no mod "custom challenge" in my mods menu, so theres no custom challenge, help?
I've tried everything but I can't find this mod in my mods when I'm in the game, and the custom challenge is never there either.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
How do you make it so the trinket cannot be replaced (like tick)
can you make it possible to make the goal hush or delirium?
Sorry, the game doesn't offer an option for this
k just wanted to know sense there is a completion mark for hush
I found the problem with it not loading the challenge run! You need to go over to your mod tab and enable the "Custom Challenge" Mod!
Even when enabling that, it still does not show up for me
I have followed the instructions given, but my challenges aren't appearing in the custom challenge menu. Help would be appreciated.
Is there a "Custom Challenge" folder in the AB+ directory? Maybe try launching the CCL as administrator. A couple people are reporting this issue, but I can't reproduce it with my PC
I do have a "Custom Challenge" folder in my AfterBirth+ Mods, but however even running the CCL as an Administrator, I still can not find my custom challenge in the Challenge
Is the Custom Challenge mod listed in the "Mods" menu and active?
I press play go to challenges press tab and it isn't there help please
costum challenge does not appear in the costum challenge menu after hitting play, i put the AfterPlusCCLauncher.exe and the .ini in the \My Games\Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ Mods\CustomChallenge folder.
is there anything else i need to do?
Is there any way to use this and enable achievements? Or will there be an update that fixes that?
cheat engine if there's a new table for the current version, otherwise you're going to have to deal with the fact that mods will disable achievements forever
My custom challenge does not appear under the custom challenges list, after pressing tab. Is it neccesary to unzip in any specific location?
Is there a Custom Challenge" folder in your AB+ mods folder
there is in mine and i put my custom challenge in that folder yet it still doesn't work can you plz help me.
Yes, there is, but even when i put launcher in that folder custom challenge does not appear under the custom challenges list
